<h2>How to find it</h2>
<p>The route starts from the stone bridge and takes about 20 minutes.
It is cairned all the way. Head to the
204e entrance and continue up the gully. The route rises over the broken
area known as the <i>Quarries</i> and then heads over the brow of the hill.
It then crosses the top of the large broken gully mentioned in the old route
below to reach a traverse across a steeply-sloping incised slab. A climb
up a gully then reaches a small col where a small path can be followed through
the bunde to the left, via a small vegetated bowl, to emerge at the 258b
entrance. This entrance is a shaft surrounded by bunde on three sides.
The 258a entrance is in the obvious adjacent shakehole.
<h3>Old route</h3>
<p>From the stone bridge, follow the cairns towards 204e entrance. Upon
reaching the final gully, where the path turns up to the right towards
that entrance, continue straight across and then work to the right,
traversing around
the rear lip of a hole. This leads to the bottom of a loose climb, which
is ascended to reach another level. A prominent Christmas tree style fir
marks the point where another climb is made to the next level up. It is
then necessary to ascend to the next level above this, either by a short
traverse and then a narrow climb between two blocks, or by heading right
and then heading back up to the left. Having done this, a short ascent
on small loose stones brings one to the uppermost level, marked by a
prominent cairn (visible from the stone bridge).
</p>
<p>Follow the cairns around to the left, descending slightly at first and
then maintaining the same level, to eventually reach a cairned point
overlooking a large broken gully running from right to left. Descend
into the gully (passing the shaft of 2004-18) and cross to the other side
where an obvious level ascends upwards and to the right. Having reached
the top, follow the cairns to the right to arrive quickly at an area with
a hole to each side. The shakehole to the left, containing a cairn
originally some
two feet high, contains the 258a entrance; the 258b entrance is the other hole.
